The best way to lose weight is to put the handle of the fridge two inches from the ground.

If I were alive in Rubens's time, I'd be celebrated as a model. Kate Moss would be used as a paint brush.

I think of myself now as a writer, although I wouldn't go as far as to say 'novelist' because that sounds like a Victorian person.

I have turned away from the thought of writing fiction in the past through what I suppose is, actually, fear. The direct, raw invitation for the reader to come in and explore my imagination is fairly scary for me so I have busied myself with so much else.

What was I thinking? Fact is I wasn't thinking. I didn't want to think. I wanted to feel.

I am a rubbish flirt.

I haven't really ever had to audition for anything.
